A Trip To Yesterday

The below is a computer-generated response from Neo, Neopoet's computer artificial intelligence:

The poem, "A Trip To Yesterday," effectively utilizes imagery and metaphor to convey a sense of longing and remembrance. However, there are a few areas where the poem could be improved.

Firstly, the poem could benefit from a more consistent rhythm and structure. The lines vary significantly in length and syllabic count, which can disrupt the flow of the poem. For example, the lines "I have a file cabinet / Filled with things / I never said" could be rewritten to maintain a more consistent rhythm, such as "In my cabinet, unsaid things lie."

Secondly, the poem could use more specific and concrete imagery. While the metaphor of a "file cabinet" filled with unspoken words is compelling, the poem could delve deeper into this image. What kind of things are in the cabinet? Are they regrets, unexpressed feelings, or missed opportunities? Providing more detail would make the metaphor more vivid and impactful.

Lastly, the poem could benefit from more careful attention to grammar and punctuation. For instance, the line "I going to be okay" appears to be missing a word. Correcting these small errors will make the poem more polished and professional.

Overall, the poem effectively communicates a sense of nostalgia and longing, but could be improved with more consistent rhythm, more specific imagery, and careful proofreading.

At night my mind
"Plays" a marathon replace Plays with (shows) just a suggestion!
Of memories that
Play until the sun
Open its eyes

I rarely see this side of you, [though it is much preferred].
This is raw, from the heart, but buttery smooth.
I would add a place to keep the "file cabinet".
How about :

In my head
I have a file cabinet

Nice... ~ Geez.

I like this one very soft and congenial. Thought it was great!

What I did not say. is that this poem is pretty amazing. I could not choose favorite lines because they all were exceptional!
